Compendium of Hydrogen Energy: Hydrogen Production and Purification, the first text in a four-volume series, focuses on the production of hydrogen. As many experts believe that the hydrogen economy will eventually replace the fossil fuel economy as our primary source of energy, the text provides a timely discussion on this interesting topic. The text details the methods of hydrogen production using fossil fuels, also exploring sustainable extraction methods of hydrogen production from water and hydrogen purification processes. * Provides a comprehensive understanding of the current methods used in the production of hydrogen* Discusses the hydrogen economy and its potential to replace fossil fuels as our primary source of energy* Details the methods of hydrogen production using fossil fuels, also exploring sustainable extraction methods of hydrogen production from water and hydrogen purification processes

Review:

As the first text in a four-volume series, this book focuses on the production of hydrogen and its potential to replace fossil fuels as our primary source of energy

From the Back Cover:

Hydrogen is seen as a key possible alternative to fossil fuels as the most efficient and environmentally compatible energy carrier. As free hydrogen does not exist on earth in its pure form, its successful production, storage, transmission, conversion and application are essential for its implementation. The four volume Compendium of Hydrogen Energyexplores these factors in detail, beginning in volume one with an in-depth review of hydrogen production.

Part One provides a strong introduction to hydrogen, looking at the key properties, production and economics. Part Two goes on to review conventional hydrogen production methods and industrial surplus hydrogen, covering topics such as steam reforming, coal gasification, gasification of biomass and opportunity fuels and the use of industrial surplus hydrogen. The production of hydrogen through electrolysis with high pressure electrolyzers, high temperature electrolyzers and proton exchange membrane electrolyzers are then explored in Part Three, before emerging methods are explored in Part Four. The book then concludes in Part Five by reviewing hydrogen purification.

Compendium of Hydrogen Energy Volume 1 – Hydrogen Production and Purification provides a standard reference work for academic researchers and postgraduate students working in the area of hydrogen production and the wider area of the hydrogen economy, and R&D managers in energy companies studying next generation fuels.
